same age as he was and sometimes people thought they were twins. Heaton was very dark-complexioned and Frank was quite light for a Mexican. At first, Frank worked for fifty cents a day, but eventually worked for room and board and went to school to learn English. He claimed that the Indians had kiUed his father. Frank's mother went to live with his uncles who were very mean to him, so he ran away. His family lived in a place called Manaquita which was quite a distance fiom Corrales. In the fall of 1906, Sarah Ann Lunt, along with two of her boys, Frank (the Mexican boy) and Clarence who was ten years old, made a tnp to the "Valley"to get h t , sugar and other staples. On the way home they were caught.in a rain storm in the canyon. The wagon became stuck in the mud and, after great effort, they stili were unable to get it out. Frank took one of the horses and rode on home to get another team of horses. Alma retumed with him and they were able to move the wagon on up the canyon to the bend of the road where they took refuge fiom the rain in an abandoned cabin which had been built by the Pierces. That Nght Sarah dreamed that a flood came down the canyon and caved the road in nght where the wagon stood. The next moming she insisted that the boys move the wagon. This was no simple task because it was still raining and the road was very muddy and slick. The horses had to be coaxed and the wagon had to be completely unloaded, but Sarah was adamant in her feelings. Parley anived with a thjrd team and, by working for what seemed l i e hours, they were able to move the wagon to where they could tie the tongue to a large oak tree. They were compelied to stay there until the storm subsided. The next rnorning Sarah sent Alma and Clarence up to have a look at the wagon while breakfast was being prepared. They found that the road had been completely washed out and only a huge hole remained where the wagon had stood before they moved it. Several days later it stopped rai~ng, the job of getting to "the and top" began. The load was transferred back onto the wagon and they were able to slowly make their way home. It took about eight days to travei just 37 d e s , but they were very gratehl to have the wagon and the load, both of which were very precious to them.' Annie's daughter, Ellen Lunt Guymon, was still living in Pacheco.
